Audre & Bash Are Just Friends

By Tia Williams

Book Overview

Scorching-hot summer. Scorching-hot chemistry. Two teens can't forget they're just friends in this sweet, funny, electrifying romance from New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams--perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Nicola Yoon.

Meet Audre. Junior class president. Debate team captain. Unofficial student therapist. Desperately in need of a good time.

Meet Bash. Mysterious new senior. Everybody's crush. Tall, floppy, great taste in jewelry. King of having a good time.

It's the last day of school at Cheshire Prep, Brooklyn's elite academy--and Audre Mercy-Moore's life is a mess. Her dad cancelled her annual summer visit to his Malibu beach house. Now? She's stuck in a claustrophobic apartment with her mom, stepdad, and one-year-old sister (aka the Goblin Baby).

Under these conditions, she'll never finish writing her self-help book--i.e., the key to winning over Stanford's admissions board.

Cut to Bash Henry Audre hires him to be her "fun consultant." His job? To help her complete the Experience Challenge--her list of five wild dares designed to give her juicy book material. She'll get inspo; he'll get paid. Everybody wins.

He isn't boyfriend material. And she's not looking for one. Can they stay professional despite their obvious connection?

Fun fact: Audre Mercy-Moore first appeared in the New York Times bestseller Seven Days in June and now stars in her own story
